A Few Words From Michele Hudson

On behalf of Sip With Socialites, I sincerely, “Thank You” for your contribution to the success of our February Cocktail Hour to benefit “Touching Heart.”

Everyone truly got into the spirit of the “Love of Giving.” I loved seeing all of the pink and red throughout the evening. Your support through your donations and attendance speaks volumes to us, especially considering the weather. It lets us know our mission is important not only to us, but to our friends and the community.

Thank you, to our DJ, Mr. Dimitris George, for keeping the music following throughout the evening never missing a beat. To our lovely bachelorettes (Mary David, Michelle Stephenson, and Ruqaiyah Najjar) and bachelors (Marco Maffeo-Robinson, Paul Pitcher, and Julian Epstein), “Thank You” for giving not only your time, but being a great sport in the spirit of Valentine’s Day. To our emcee, Miss Ruby Tarrau, “Thank you” for stepping in and getting the attendees into the date auction we could not have done it without you. Thank You, Lamine Hamdad, for displaying your beautiful art work throughout Penthouse Nine PH9 for the evening. PH9 our attendees enjoyed the lovely Whiskey tasting which was provided for the evening, “Thank You!”

Your donation makes it possible for the children of Touching Heart to continue their services despite the economic distress we currently find ourselves in. As mentioned the funds raised from our event will go toward the expansion of a chicken laying project at Villages of Hope, an orphanage in Zambia. The support will fund the purchase of 1,000 additional chicks that will be laying eggs. The eggs will be a source of food for the 54 children living at the Village of Hope and the additional eggs will be sold to fund other operational costs of the village. What an impact each chicken will make!”

If you were unable to attend Wednesday’s event and would still like to contribute. Please go to the Touching Heart website where you can make a donation.http://www.touchingheart.com/
